Presence

There is that presence I feel it somewhere Somewhere looking at me without my notice A presence a place a moment I do not recall When there was someone watching me then Where and when was this time that I did not notice Somewhere someone a presence in closeness About in a place meant to feel safe When there was someone watching me I knew not then Obliviously unaware of the eyes that did stare Upon those moments and times my mind was not there Then in a place meant to feel safe The presence of those watching my space Around me my movements my tone of voice just me Those eyes with the minds that do not truly read Just a surface a glace a glare to compare Their vision of what they watch when they stare Those present to witness a presence that watched Time and time arriving to just observe to see The person they were watching unknowingly me A presence that was once when I went out Now I just stay in so no more rumors may spread from others mouth Now I just reflect on who, what, where and when was that presence around

Thanks. Just thought I would entertain myself on the aspect of the prompt and write something different for a better poem.
